Overview

â„šī¸
OC 0473 is a sparse, very loose object of intermediate C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a very large distance, well below the mid-plane, affected by moderate extinction. It is catalogued as a near-solar metallicity, very young cluster (see Parameters). It is rarely studied in the literature.

âš ī¸ Warning: the low UTI value and no obvious signs of duplication (Cdup=1.0) indicate that this is quite probably an asterism, moving group, or artifact, and not a real open cluster.

Moderate extinction Near-solar metallicity Very young
